Over 500 Top PDFs posted to Hacker News in 2019

Hacker News is a GREAT source of tech news but one of the things I really like about it is when insanely smart people post
actual PDFs they’ve found.

In the past I’ve seen PDFs from text books, brilliant original research and even old trusted technical books from the
80s and 90s.

So I figured it would be interesting to compute the top PDFs from 2019.

Background

This is computed by taking any link to a PDF file that was on the front page at least once in a 24 hour period.

Without further ado, here’s the full list of the top PDFs from Hacker News in 2018.

Also, if you need a tool to manage your PDFs which supports annotation and highlighting you should really take a look at
Polar. It’s Open Source, cross platform, and designed for people passionate about reading, education, and research.

Supports tagging, annotation, highlighting,
reading progress, and makes it effortless to
remember what you've learned. By yourself or in groups.
